[QUOTE="Tim C, post: 2072295, member: 71569"]I’m not sure what “Mint Errors” you would find, but “Die Varieties” are out there to be had if you want to put the time into them by searching. There is a small “Brick & Mortar” shop about 60 miles travel time for us and when ever we travel to that city, we always stop in and they let me search through their 40% junk silver. On average, I will find 3 Doubled Dies for every 100 coins searched. Not all of the Doubled Dies found are the ones listed in the Cherrypickers’ Guide (but we like them all anyhow). We keep the best ones for ourselves but have been know to sell or trade some of our spares. Just to give you an idea of prices realized for spending time searching junk silver: 1. 1965 DDR-004 (FS-802) graded MS62 sold for $375 2. 1966 DDO-005 (FS-101) graded MS64 sold for $385 3. 1967 DDO-007 (FS-102) graded AU58 sold for $250 4. 1967 DDO-001 (FS-103) graded MS64 sold for $800 5. 1967 DDR-002 (FS-801) graded MS64 sold for $350 6. 1968-D DDO-002 (FS-101) graded MS64 sold for $250 Remember, these prices mentioned are for certified and attributed coins by PCGS (each coin had a $14 grading fee, $24 attribution fee plus postage and handling fee(s) both ways.)
